The matter will be laid before the British Columbia Parliament at Victoria next winter and favorable ac- tion is expected. Any other kind of action, it is clear from the expressions of experienced and conservative min- ers who have returned, would result in depopulating the new settlements of all except a few who have rich claims and checking, if not entirely stopping, explorations for gold in a new and promising region. It is not a question of whether there is gold on the new creeks. Nuggets with a great deal more value in them than in $10 pieces have been taken out boxes. From this the size runs down to fine gold. The trouble is over the width of the claims. At first it was generally understood, after a review of the maps and before | there was time for a further investiga- tion, that the lake, and particularly its eastern shore, up which the new dig- gings are located, were In British | Northwest Territory. But the Gold Commissioner for British Columblia, Major Rant, asserted that the creeks were in British Columbia and took possession without much dispute. The few British Northwest, police on the | ground made way before him and re- | | tired. There s still some assertion | that the region is in the same territory the Klondike is situated in and a de- mand for a further officlal survey to | determine the boundary. The settle- | ment of this question involves the own- ership of heaps of gold for those who | were on the ground among the first and | were fortunate enough to stake good | claims. | A creek claha in British Northwest | Territory is 250 feet ‘ong and running | from rim to rim thres feeet above the | water level. Under British Columbia | laws a creek clalm is 100 feet long and | running from rim to rim. It is thus‘ apparent why it is hoped around the | campfires of the small army on the | banks of the placid Atlin that the di- mensions of claims shall be dictated at | | Ottawa and not at Victoria. At the | general cost of working a claim it is| contended that 100 feet is not sufficient | ground to make it pay. ! This is the situation which has pre- | vented development work on hundreds of prospects on the surface of which | colors have been found, but has not stopped the continuance of work on | claims which are already panning out well. The number of such claims does not now exceed fifty. Though many :re leaving the dig- gings and the rush has abated, still a large number of men continue to go in. | Concerted and organized action will be | taken to lay the case before Ottawa | {as well as the Victoria Parliament. | original stampeders have gone back to | and are still being found in the sluice | THE RUSH LAKE ATLIN g8 to Stake Out Present Con- ditions. Doubt as to Whether the Diggings Are in British e British North- west Territory. HOFFMAN. Kobert Moore, an experienced miner of Juneau, says: “I do not think the ground as a rule is rich enough to work under the Brit- ish Columbia laws. Of course there are now some claims that are paying con- siderably more than wages. On the day I left Miller and McKinnon took out a nugget which weighed $15 60, which is the largest yet found. They employ three men and clean up from 27 to 30 ounces every three days, which is pretty good for a starter. This is one of the first claims staked. I looked over two of the best creeks. The action of the railroad hands who have stampeded in from Skagway is outrageous. They overrun the coun- try like a wild mob, knocking down stakes that had already been located by those who had nreceded them, and putting up stakes of their own. They were on top for a while, but were pretty soon called down for this, in some in- stances very forcibly. When we came | out we met a good many men still go- ing In, but the starch Is pretty well knocked out of the general outlook by the mining laws, and a disappointment over the surface prospects. ““About 1000 men are in there now. There will be a winter camp all right, | but I do not think it will compare with Dawson. At the mouth of Pine Creek the largest camp is located. A few stores are selling provisions and there are some tents where liquor is sold.” The Juneau expedition under the leadership of Surveyor A. E. Johnson, sent out by the Chamber of Commerce on August 18 to discover a short trail to Lake Atlin, has returned and re- ports success. The object of the Cham- ber is to run small steamers to the head of the Takou inlet and river, twelve miles away, and then put on a pack train over a portage about forty miles to the lake. Others who composed the expedition were Messrs. Pond and Hill and several Indian packers. The dis- tance up the inlet to the mouth of Ta- kou River is seventeen miles; then there are forty-two miles of summer navigation for small steamers to Ink- lin River or South Forks, thence ten to thirteen miles of trall or canoe to Sil- ver Salmon River, thence forty miles of dry level gravel portage to Lake Atlin, which the expedition traversed by well defined Indian trails in eighteen hours, Pine Creek is then eight miles away There are three small lakes and lots of game on the trail. Mr. Johnson said: “From the Sflver Salmon it is a low, open country with no noticeable di- vide. We get fresh moose meat from the Indians, and also had plenty of berries. There are oceans of fine grass. It is the best trail for cattle I know of in this section. In my judgment it is the easiest and quickest route to Lake Atlin. The total distance from Juneau is about 111 miles. A first-class horse traill from the head of navigation could be nmiade for about $2000.” Last night at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce steps were taken to raise money for the purpose of improving this trail. A letter was read at the meeting from Portland, Or., projectors stating the capital is, since the failure of the Stickeen River railroad, being interested to construct a railroad over the Takou trafl to Lake Teslin, which has long been considered one of the shortest and most practic- able routes to the headwaters of the Yukon. 103 W of Castro, J.

SANTA CLARA TIRED OF REA GRAND COMBINE TO DEFEAT THE RINGSTERS. Will Support the Republican State Ticket — Stirring Speeches Made at the Conven- tion. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 10.—The Good Gov- ernment League county convention practically finished its work of select- ing a county ticket to-dav and at its conclusion resolved itself into a ratifi- cation meeting of the State Republican ticket. This is the first ratification meeting held in Santa Clara County since the nomination of Gage for Governor, and many Republicans about town are highly pleased with the advance.step taken by the league to-day. The failure of the Rea County Central Committee to ratify the State ticket is accredited to the turning down ~° Rea’s man Aus- tin for Secretary of State. Henry T. Gage and the entire State ticket received much praise, and the sentiment expressed showed that the Good Government League iatends to make a hard fight for the State Repub- lican ticket in Santa Clara County. Speeches were made by Judge J. R. Lewis, 8. P. Sanders and D. H. Bryant. B. D. Murphy, a prominent Democrat, who was present in the hall, was called to the platform. He praised the Good Government League for its effective work in county politics, and urged it to go right on purging the party of gang methods. The speaker was loudly cheered. The nominations made to-day were: Sheriff, James H. Lyndon; Auditor, A. Neniied e 10—8tmr Umb: e 'mr Umbrla, for N sEW YORK—Safiea Sept o Btme Etraia avre. b L. Veuve; Recorder, T. W.

Washington Authorities Have Several Reasons for Keeping a Strong Naval Force in the Far East. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The Herald’s | Washington correspondent sends the following: Commodore Albert Kautz, commandant of the naval station at Newport, R. I, has been definitely se- lected as the successor of Rear Admi- ral J. N. Miller in the command of the Pacific station. The formal announcement was made at the Navy Department to-day that the battleships Oregon and Iowa would be sent to the Pacific Coast and at- tached to the station there, and ar- rangements for their voyage are being made by the department. These two developments are significant as indi- cating the importance with which the administration now ,views the Pacific statfon. The authorities appreciate that the questions which will arise in the Pacific during the next two years will be of a character requiring the closest attention, and they have been careful to get a commanding officer in whose judgment they could place im- plicit reliance. There is danger of trouble arising with Germany in Samoa, although the Berlin Government appreciates that n‘; will be in a minority in questions which | may arise in view of the apparent pol- icy of Great Britain to accept the view | of the United States in matters affect- ing the government of the Samoan Isl- ands. But the Washington authorities apprehend that Germany, in her desire to extend her territorial domain, may 80 to extreme lengths and they are prepared for emergencies. Commodore Kautz will go overland to San Fran- cisco in October, by which time Rear Admiral Miller will have reached that port from Honolulu. Rear Admiral Miller’s retirement in November neces- sitates his detachment next month. Commodore Harrison's name was men- tioned in connection with the Pacific command, but the fact that he will re- tire a year hence prevented his selec- tion. Commodore Kautz was the next officer of flag rank available, and after considering his previous record he was determined upon. Eventually thé two battle-ships will | be ordered to Honolulu. which will be made by the Government the military and naval base for operations in the Philippines in case they should be ne- cessary. Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohn said to-night that no orders for the dis- patch of troops from San Francisco to Honolulu had been issued, but that the troops may sall any day. The regi- ments will be among those now at San Francisco, but as to the number to be sent or which particular ones Secre- tary Meikeljohn could not now state. W. T. Aggeler; Township Justices, J. T. Wallace and E. M. Rosenthal; Con- stables, A. G. Hinman and R. L. Hen- inger. 4 Nominations for the following offices were made at the last meeting: Su- perior Judge, A. S. Kittredge; County Clerk, H. A. Pfister; Treasurer, E. W. Conant; Assessor, L. A. Spitzer; Tax Collector, W. A. January; Super- intendent of Schools, L. J. Chipman; Surveyor, A. T. Herrimann; Super- visor, First District, R. M. Phelps. The ticket completed to-day Is the strongest ever placed before the voters of Santa Clara County, and Is certain of election. It is anti-gang from top to bottom, and its victory means the dethronement of Boss Rea. With few exceptions the ticket is that of the Populists, Democrats and Good Gov- ernment League. The County Committee of twenty- five selected by the Good Government League met after the convention and organized. E. A. Hayes was elected chairman, W. H. Wright vice-chair- man, and H. G. Squier secretary. A committee of five, consisting of E. A. Hayes, W. H. Wright, J. R. Johns, J. R. Lewis and S. P. Sanders, was ap- pointed to wait upon the State Central Committee and urge the recognition of their County Committee. The removal of the Rea County Com- mittee is deemeéd advisable in order to secure the election of the legislative ticket. Republicans all through the county favor this move. The Good Gov- ernment League has not named a leg- islative ticket, hoping the State Com- mittee will interfere with Rea’s candi- dates and thus insure a Republican leg- islative delegation from Santa Clara County.

D. or Deposit Scheme Jules Laborde, the great French physician, has said: “The American uses up his health to make money and then is forced to spend money in seeking to regain his health.” True it is that the straid of business cares and the sexual excesses incident to this nervous ten- slon—inherited or acquired—are fast wrecking the health of American men to-day. This alarming condition has long been fully under- stood by physicians and the greatest minds of the profession in this and foreign countries have given their best efforts to meet it. It re- mained for France, the nation that leads the world In scientific medical research, to dis- cover at last a specific that will supply to the system those vital forces which men of this generation waste so wantonly In youth and early manhood. Protessor Laborde is the most eminent of all his_countrymen in this one great branch of medical science. After many years experi- menting he discovered the preparation called {#CALTHOS,” which has created more talk in medical circles than any other prepara- tion In the past fifty years. It is, in fact, such a certatn cure for Lost Manhood ana Sex. ual Weakness that the French and German governments have by law_adopted it for use in their standing armies. That is why the sol- diers of those countries are known the world over as the finest spectmens of manhood ever seen. The Von Mohl Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, a long-established house, who are the est importers in the United States of standard parations, eent a representative to Euro) o investigate the claims made for ‘‘CA 'HOS.”” " Finding the remedy all that physi- clans abroad claimed it was, the Von Mohl Co. secured the soleright to sell ““CALTHOS’" in the United States. Upon the refurn of the representative, preparations were made to put the remedy in the hands of sufferers by a plan that is far-reaching, as deserved, and extremely generous on the part of the Von Mohl Co. All persons who write this house, no matter how prominent or how humble their circumstances, will have the satisfaction to know that they will be treated in a straightfor- ward, honorable way, and that their letters il be read and - preserved in perfect con- ence.
